Our infrastructure ... … as of 2013
Our infrastructureas of 2013
rented hardware around 75 root servers desktop machines stability issues network outages surround sound
What we wanted ...
What we wanted
desktop free servers network under our control virtual application servers flexibility and scaleability opensource software surround sound wasn't a must
What we looked at ... … or: the quest for the virtual grail
VMware vSphere
the classic choice a lot of experience „it simply works“ not opensource license costs no cloud bursting no chef integration Windows needed
KVM
opensource simple setup manual management no cloud bursting no fancy features
Openstack
opensource state of the art huge community the Ubuntu way far away from classic virtualization
Why Opennebula?
Opennebulapainless
easy setup works perfect with classic proved technologies initial productive setup in < week strong community and support
Opennebulaflexible
use it like classic virtual environment think cloudish if you like extend with own logic use different „hypervisors“ integrated into software automation
Opennebulascaleable
add nodes if needed cover load peaks in external clouds use highly scaleable storage backends
Runtastic Setup
Opennebulaat Runtastic
Two Opennebula Setups Internal infrastructure & Development
use all the hardware we could find Productive Cluster
professional Cisco + Netapp hardware
OpennebulaCurrent productive setup
30 Cisco UCS KVM nodes Ubuntu NFS shared storage on two Netapp Filers Cisco Nexus 10G network no contextualization at the moment > 250 virtual machines most VMs „classic“ persistent images
OpennebulaCurrent projects
extend with Cisco Bladecenter nodes Implement Ceph as storage backend Cleanup our Opennebula Chef cookbooks
and make them public migrate Percona DB to virtual MongoDB
OpennebulaFuture Runtastic plans
add nodes LXC additionally to KVM add nodes Switch to contextualization add nodes Prepare application servers for
OneFlow auto-scaling add nodes
